Rooting, or: Preying

My 2^nd Badger’s hexastitch

long claws
digging down to
unsuspecting burrows;
determined rooting snout
seeking prey for
dinner

Poetic inspiration does arrive in many ways. 😄 Have you been watching the Nature channel?

  nope… 🦡 but I’ve been reading a lot about badgers for the purpose of writing these poems…

Aren’t we all putting our claws to use either preying or praying?

  you know, I’ve actually been thinking of playing with that pun, but I haven’t done anything with it… and this poem didn’t feel right for it…

  Well, I have been writing poetry for more than a year now. And the more I write, the easier it gets. I’m currently trying to complete a full year’s worth of micropoetry, which includes these badger poems.
